Pedigree: Interior designer and environmentalist Linda Garland created this oceanfront retreat (AD, August 2009) for film director Rob Cohen of The Fast and the Furious fame. Modeled after traditional Sumatran Minangkabau architecture, the compound consists of an open-air living/dining pavilion and three enclosed bedroom suites—all elevated on poles and topped with soaring thatched roofs made from locally grown grass.

Property Values: Located at the base of Mount Agung, the six-acre grounds also include a pair of modernist villas in addition to a swimming pool.

Talking Point: Made of recycled timber, the structures are as eco-friendly as they are exotic.
